Chapter 2: Origin of the Universe

At the initial moment when all existence had not yet manifested, it was an era without the concepts of space or time.

At that time, neither matter nor void had taken shape, the concept of the universe had not yet germinated, and even the most basic laws had not been defined.

All things returned to nothingness, yet contained the fundamental essence of everything; it was infinitely large and infinitely small, simultaneously everything and the nothingness of everything.

This could perhaps be called the “Initial Singularity”.

A singularity with infinite possibilities, from which all matter, energy, space, and the torrent of time emerged.

In a certain world, on a certain divine land, this supreme state was once forcefully named “Wuji” or “Dao”.

“Wuji” is the formless and imageless realm, the beginning of all things, and also their end; it is the form of no form, and the image of no object.

It is the beginning of all existence, both infinite and endless.

Its profound meaning is precisely “beyond Wuji there is no Wuji, within the endless there is no endless”, layer upon layer, profound and unfathomable.

This state is both the essence of the unity of opposites, the ultimate convergence; and the stillness of the unity of opposites, an absolute and innate existence.

It is “nothingness” and “emptiness”, yet encompasses everything, being the all of everything, truly a symbol of omniscience and omnipotence.

“It” is “Infinite Being”, its infinitude refers to omniscience, omnipotence, eternity, and boundlessness, a positive infinity.

Different regions of the mortal world once gave “It” different names—perhaps “Taiyi”, or the ancient Greek “Χρόνος (Chronos / Khronos)”, or even the Hebrew “YHWH (יהוה)”.

“It” is the “Indefinite” or “Infinite”, meaning the primordial substratum of everything without specific form, properties, or boundaries.

All things are generated from it, becoming concrete through the combination of “finite” and “infinite”.

Among these, “infinite” refers to those indeterminate qualities, such as “large” and “small”, which require “finite” (form) to acquire definite determination.

This is just as “Wuji” must differentiate through “Taiji” (Yin and Yang) to evolve into concrete myriad things.

“It” is the absolutely supreme existence; “Wuji” has no form, not even existence, it is the highest manifestation of “nothingness”.

All things, through “Emanation” (also known as “movement”), derive from “Taiyi”, which is the state of “creation from nothing” described by “Wuji and Taiji”.

However, the “nothingness” of “Wuji” is absolute transcendence; it is not an existence.

“Taiji”, on the other hand, represents the manifestation of the unity of opposites (Yin and Yang); it is a divergent state, a dynamic, relative, and acquired existence of the unity of opposites; it is “being” and “reality”.

Before the appearance of Qi is the Great Simplicity, the beginning of Qi is the Great Beginning, the beginning of form is the Great Origin, and the beginning of substance is the Great Purity.

From “nothing” is born “being”, and within “being” is contained “nothing”.

“Taiji” is the state where Qi, form, and substance are integrated and undivided.

This is what we call Chaos (Chaos), or Chaos (English/Latin: Chaos; Greek: Χάος, Chaos is a transliteration).

Through changes that cannot be described by language or text, the era of Chaos arrived.

This Chaos contains Yin and Yang, rigidity and flexibility, odd and even, encompassing everything.

Chaos is an orderly movement, inseparable from space-time; it is both absolute motion and relative stillness; it moves as a whole, systematically; it ascends and descends, cycling back and forth.

It is the “undivided unity of Yin and Yang”, and more so the “dynamic process of the unity of opposites”, the logical starting point for the generation of all things, and the ultimate embodiment of the fundamental laws of the universe.

Chaos, through “Emanation” (also known as “movement”), evolved to produce Nous (Intellect), Psyche (Soul) 【also known as spirituality】, and all the material world.

When “Taiji” showed signs of “movement”, when Chaos began to stir restlessly, to “move”, the world’s true beginning was unveiled.

Who knows how much time passed, perhaps infinite, perhaps just an instant, even shorter than Planck time; this is time incomprehensible to mortals, and even to gods.

At that time, time had no meaning for anything. However, it truly existed and quietly arranged everything, driving all evolution.

Within Chaos, the first to appear was the primordial embodiment of matter and antimatter, whose name was—Gaia (Greek: Γαία; English: Gaia (Gaea)).

Gaia represents the birth of the material world, the manifestation of “reality”, the concrete manifestation of matter.

And as “reality” appeared, the concept of “nothingness” corresponding to “reality” was also born.

When “reality” began to manifest, it meant the genesis of order, and thus the world acquired the concept of “existence”.

At the same time, corresponding concepts such as “disorder”, “chaos”, “dissipation”, “annihilation”, and “nothingness” also arose.

This is the cycle of “being” arising from “nothing”, and “nothing” contained within “being”, while “nothing” also encompasses “being”, and “being” continuously evolves “nothing”.

He is—Tartarus (Greek: Τάρταρος; English: Tartarus).

The “Abyss” descended from this point; Tartarus is the embodiment of “nothingness”.

And at this time, Chaos, because of Gaia and Tartarus, because of the existence of matter and antimatter and the manifestation of nothingness, truly acquired the concept of “existence”.

After an unknown amount of time, within Chaos, the concepts of “darkness” and “night” were further conceived.

Because everything at this time was still shrouded in boundless “darkness”.

They are the primordial embodiments of dark matter and dark energy, corresponding to matter and antimatter.

Their names are—Erebus, the embodiment of darkness and the void (Ancient Greek: Ἔρεβος / Ἐρέβευς; English: Erebus); and Nyx, the embodiment of Night (Ancient Greek: Νύξ; English: Nyx).

These four primordial deities constitute the most basic laws of the universe, the most fundamental foundation for all subsequent existences.

Without them, nothing would exist.

The universe thus entered a “dualistic state of unity of opposites”.

Simply put, “Taiji” began to evolve “Yin and Yang”.

Although the basic concepts maintaining its operation were born in the universe at this time, the world was still a dead silence.

Those born basic concepts were even merely pure concepts; they were just abstract manifestations of laws and concepts, without spirituality, much less the budding of self-awareness.

Although the universe already had the concept of “reality” and initially had relative “order”, more often, it was still permeated by “disorder and nothingness”.

“Order” and “disorder” intertwined, and Tartarus, the embodiment of disordered nothingness, seemed like an eternal behemoth, capable of devouring all existing manifestations at any moment.

This could halt the universe’s evolution at the binary stage, or even directly revert to Taiji, returning to the primordial state of Wuji.

To counter this instinct of dissipation, “existence” must move incessantly to prove its true existence, to avoid being swallowed by the boundless “nothingness”.

Thus, all concepts of “existence”, all laws that had already arisen, moved incessantly in their instinctive unwillingness to dissipate, and in their instinctive resistance against “nothingness”.

After an unknown amount of “movement” over time, all concepts and laws of “existence” underwent endless evolution and refinement.

A nascent consciousness and a primordial will, or rather, a deeper, more fundamental “instinct of existence”, evolved and manifested in this continuous movement.

“Want to have”

“Want to get”

“Don’t want”

“Unwilling”

These concepts of “love and desire” appeared; this is Eros (Ancient Greek: Ἔρως; English: Eros).

He is the primordial driving force for the birth of new life in the universe, the original fundamental law concept by which natural forces create all things.

He is the basic driving force that propelled the evolution of all things at the beginning of the world, and also the symbol of all love, desire, passion, and emotions of all intelligent beings.

After another unknown period, a length of time incomprehensible to mortals.

Perhaps it was still infinite, or perhaps an irreversible force began to operate simultaneously with the emergence of the concept of “love and desire”.

Driven by the “primordial instinctive desire”, and by the deep fear of being swallowed by Tartarus, the primordial embodiment of matter—Gaia—instinctively swallowed Eros!

Thus, from that material existence, a brand new, crucially important, fundamental force burst forth— “Spirituality” was born!

This is the variable of “Spirit”, the foundation upon which wisdom and soul exist.

From this moment on, all existence, whether material entities or abstract concepts, truly began and truly could possess consciousness.

This is the awakening of the “I” consciousness.

The emergence of “Spirituality” signifies that the existence of “Self”, “Hope”, and “Future” has finally descended upon the universe!

Only by possessing spirituality and consciousness, by having a clear “I”, can the universe truly acquire the meaning and value of its existence, and only then can everything have a magnificent chapter of future and hope.

The universe truly had its initial beginning.

The birth of spirituality meant that Sky appeared.

The Mother of Matter gave birth to Sky.

The great Lord of Spirituality, Lord of wisdom, Lord of Consciousness, Lord of the Firmament, Lord of the Universe, Symbol of Hope and Future, Father of the Titans, Primordial Great God, God of Sky, Creator of the World, Incarnation of Heaven, Supreme Heavenly Father, Master of all wisdom and Consciousness, Sovereign who controls everything in the universe, has finally descended upon the universe.

He is the great Father of all cosmic beings, the eternal starry firmament, the world’s first boundary, the immortal beginning of all things, the Heavenly Father of the gods, the encloser of the universe, the cornerstone of the world’s laws, the master of all spirituality, the first God-King!

The Supreme Heavenly Father of All Spirits—Uranus!
